I'm Australian. I'm in Canada atm though. Afaik there's no Aussie servers, but maybe we could ask games.on.net to host one after the steam release? They have featured us in their news roll twice now and seem to be top blokes.

I just launched an Australian server! It's called DAB Australia, you'll see it on the server list.

We plan to add a few features to the server, such as style weighted ranking systems, custom maps and optional player handicaps. We want to keep it as tasteful as possible so it won't differ much from the stock game if at all.

As long as possible, I have a couple months of funding set aside for it.

I was wondering, are there or would it be possible to add server options disabling the vote kick / map vote on a server? I'd rather implement my own stuff there so I can set admin immunity/random map rotations.

I also noticed, when in super fall you have to aim above the player to hit them, is that just because I've messed with the servers rate settings? I'd test it but I've got no one to test it with at the moment.

Messing with the rate settings on server or client is in general a bad idea. Here's an explanation why:

You need the lag compensation especially during superfall. It sometimes seems like it produces the wrong result, but in real gameplay settings it reduces the perception of lag. I would leave all that stuff alone.

Unfortunately, if it continues like this I can't continue to afford running the entire Australian player base. It's just too much and I'm not getting any donations. I can't afford $100 a month. My servers will probably shut down at the end of the month, two months max. Unless people start helping me fund it.

I'll see what I can do, just don't get the hopes up too much.I also will need to figure out how we're gonna price the australian server.Seeing as the prices are substantial compared to the rest of the world.
